Miniature Fresh Fruit Tarts

My kids would never eat pies until I began making them with graham cracker crusts. I’ve also lost the taste for pastry crust (who needs all that fat?). The miniature size is perfect for fruit fillings that need not be baked or that wouldn’t hold together in a large crust.
